Clinical staff

Clinical staff are making life-changing decisions day in, day out, so the more support that’s available, the better. Cerner’s clinical solutions aim to provide this help in ways that make real differences – saving time, reducing error, providing insight, and more – all with the intention of improving both patient outcomes and the clinician experience, as well as reducing costs.

Cerner’s Rapid Response dashboard now allows nurses at Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to work proactively when they’re dealing with people in critical care, reducing lengths of stays and improving the patient experience.

Staff at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (SASH) are now able to dedicate more time to patient care, after becoming the first Cerner Trust in the UK to use Child Protection – Information (CP-IS) to speed up the process of checking essential information for vulnerable child patients.

Client quote

“We’ve got the Discern alerts that run in the background; we’re intercepting patients with sepsis and AKI and things... We tend to pick that up an awful lot quicker. So, in terms of patient outcomes, we’ve noticed a big change there as well.”— Makeba Nash, chief nursing information officer, Croydon Health Services NHS Trust

Tackling sepsis

Sepsis is one of the biggest killers in the UK, yet when caught early, can be treated effectively. The difficulty is spotting a complex condition – but technology is here to help.

Thanks to Cerner solutions, nurses saved 3,800 hours over a period of 11 months at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust reduced observation times and saved six hours per ward per day

Kingston Hospital needed to save time and resources, but still needed to thoroughly document the care they provided. Working with Cerner, it was clear that observation and recording was one area to target.
